Gawd. Who's more insufferable at this point, the whiners or the whinees? Or the people complaining about both. Or neither.

...or you could stop listening to other peoples' conversations.

Fuck You, Blue Collar Bitch! Check your attitude at the door. If you don't like free speech, then leave. People can talk about what they want in a space open to the public.

I was really looking forward to Mr. Zifferelli's criticism on this, as this I,anon actually deserves it. Maybe I'm too early?

The only thing missing in this segment is Kitty Litter and PMS Medication. What is really sad is that is that the general public has to deal with all of their insufferable asses at some point through their day. There is the angry "blue collar" lesbo who clearly expects everyone to faun over her hairy, tatooed, rancid physique, or the two celebutards who will just end up becoming cat ladies or embarrassing gender icons (or ex cons) on the future "The Real Housewives of Seattle". For the straight boys or gay women out there, enjoy the pickin's in Seattle of the Amazon Age. Looks like there is pleny of lovin' to go around.

Hairy armpits + tattoos = blue collar? Is that the Capitol Hill terrain? Sheesh. Now who's being shallow?
7
Get used to shallow, vapid wealthy cunts, Seattle is drawing them by the thousands and it shows no signs of slowing down.

@5 She didn't mention being a lesbo. . .

who the fuck cares what you think? do you think others should give a hairy rats ass about you and your insufferable persona just because you have tattoos and hairy pits?? and #7, since when did having money start to annoy you? when you found out that you will never be a millionaire or marry in to it?? My god I hope you and hairy just stay the fuck out of my blue collar world as I still aspire to be a success, unlike the leeches that just want everyone to bring themselves down to the level of you and hairy so we can all be the same. You just ruined my triple tall soy latte with light foam as well as disturbed the peace I had going up here on queen anne hill..STFU..

Something about this reminds me of a pale, yet boary pork roast outclassed once again by the wine. A catastrophe, of course, that we'd all be better off not acknowledging.
11
@9 You shamelessly called it "Queen Anne hill."
12
11-
No shame at all. I'm proud of what I have earned through hard work and a modest upbringing without any handout. And while I have the bluest of blue collar jobs, I make no excuses for my success and can't stand anyone that stands and bemoans others accomplishments with a "why not me or socialist attitude of sharing.
13
Why do I get the feeling what this I Anon is really saying is 'look at me! look at me! Why are paying attention to your own life instead of looking at me?!'
15
Apparently, the place exists and has rules such as "Keep conversations to a whisper". So in typical Seattle passive-aggressiveness the writer opted to fume and write an anonymous note afterwards instead of piping up and telling the others to be quiet during the incident. Also the place is "women only" which is understandable but it kind of undermines the egalitarian cause when half the population is excluded for starters.
17
"Cap Hill." Here's a fun exercise for insufferable nitwits who are "offended" by this verbal short-hand. Remember that guy in Monty Python's "Life of Brian" who pranced about saying "Jehovah, Jehovah!" because what the hell...he's getting stoned to death anyway. I urge you to find a prissy person on the Hill and prance before that person chanting "Cap Hill! Cap Hill!" until...who knows, maybe they can find something actually of substance to get upset about.
18
@17 People who say Cap Hill reminds me of people who say Cali. Nobody from these places call them these things.
19
@17 Cap Hill, Cap Hill, Cap Hill!!! And I've been living on the Hill going on 10 years now. I'll call it whatever I damn well please, as long as it makes geographic/cartographic sense. ;-p
20
Mmmm, pit hair and Tattoos!

I hope she is single!
21
And they are the same dorks who say San Fran when referring to the Bay Area.

@15 "Also the place is "women only" which is understandable but it kind of undermines the egalitarian cause when half the population is excluded for starters." DUUUUUUDE, if straight men had impulse control and/or emotional maturity, there would be no need to keep the children out. You could say the same for Rain City Jacks, but you don't see anyone crying over that.
22
Just me, but wearing a towel and a swimsuit in a sauna seems counter productive. The speaker possibly received a better "health" experience than the other toweled-waering ladies. I can see feeling weird about two individuals over-dressed at a sauna, but not about the money stuff or the feigned hipness of saying "Cap' Hill" . True, I usually say "The Hill," "Home" or "C-Distriict" but my favorite is just calling it "my home" because that's what it is.
23
@11 that was funny. Too bad @12 and @14 didn't get it.
24
@19 You should call it whatever you feel comfortable with, Baron. I'm not saying you should stop. I'm just saying it sounds dumb. Like, I don't think people should stop wearing Crocs because then I couldn't keep making fun of them.

The Bar Method will give you the confidence to pay for a $10,0000 wedding photographer and neaten up that pubic hair. Learn more about The Bar Method now:

"I can't believe they were talking about something other than my pit hair and tattoos. I mean, I carefully cultivated this look so people would be forced to notice me, and then I can get defensive about ways I imagine they are looking down on me, but they just completely ignored me, forcing me to make up other ways I can feel victimized!"
29
@28 Bingo.
30
giddyup 28..
poor her mentality suits her well.. or maybe just mental..
31
Haters gonna hate.
32
31-not a hater, but not an enabler either, as you must be.
33
@32 Wasn't talking to you.
34
@28- nailed it.
I have tattoos and understand looks go with the territory so I find it hilarious when these hairy pitted, sleeved lizard ladie bemoan the fact that people look at /ask about/ touch their tattoos or ridiculous stretched ears. And if they get ignored, bitch as well.
Reminds me of ghetto people and their loud car stereos with their "Hey, hey! Look at me!!" bullshit.
35
Let me get this straight. So you were offended by the fact they weren't naked, commenting on your hot bod because you're apparently offended by your own body hair, and discussing their ENGAGEMENT??? Get over yourself. You may be blue collar, but that doesn't mean they can't enjoy their ability to marry, just because it happens to be in your presence, and they're not naked. What the fuck kind of issue IS this??

Please wait...

and remember to be decent to everyone
all of the time.
